10 Day Christian Meditation Challenge

It Only Takes 20 Minutes with God to Change Your Life & Relationship with God

There are many forms of meditation out there that are available to anyone who is interested. The art of meditation has been around for centuries and continues to be an integral part of the spiritual community. Some people tend to shy away from the concept of meditation because it tends to have a “New Era” feel that most are not fully familiar with. I’ve discovered that with anything that is practiced, it’s always good to make sure it aligns with God’s heart and His teachings.

Recently, I found out about a 21- Day Meditation Challenge that was being promoted and hosted by Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey. I decided to sign-up and do a few of the meditations. I enjoyed doing the meditations that I was involved in, but the whole time I was thinking, “Wouldn’t this challenge be great if it was Christ-centered?” This thought, along with participating in that meditation challenge, encouraged me to create a meditation challenge of my own that would not only be unique to my programs but would also allow for the presence of God to enter while learning how to quiet your spirit as well. Why not include God in something that he already sparked in the hearts of men a long time ago?

The 10-Day Christian Meditation Challenge will help you to draw closer to God as you meditate on His Words and learn to be still in His Presence. This particular challenge differs in comparison to other meditation challenges as it encourages the deepening of your personal relationship with God. It allows you to truly experience Him for yourself in a way that is exclusively intimate and complete.

Throughout the challenge for each day, you will enjoy a different guided Christian meditation that deals with specific issues that believers face regularly in this day and age. These common issues range from controlling negative thoughts, releasing the past, physical healing, and more. You will be able to have a well-rounded way of allowing the Holy Spirit to enter into your place and fill that void that you have tried to fill on your own for a long time now. Committing to this challenge for 10 days will open up the door for divine healing to take place. Are you ready to let go and let God and cast all of your cares upon Him? If you said yes, this challenge is for you!

One of the benefits of this guided Christian meditation is that you don’t have to figure out or wonder if you are meditating correctly. Essentially, there is no right or wrong way to meditating when it comes to this challenge. All you need to do is find a comfortable seat in a secluded location and let Rhonda’s tranquil voice and soft music usher you into a place of peace and God’s presence.

When we calm the mind, we have a greater capacity to hear the Holy Spirit. Tuning into the Holy Spirit helps to eliminate thoughts and mental patterns that are contrary to God’s Word. If we never stop or slow down, how do we know if we’re moving in the right direction? If we’re not taking the time to allow God to give us some insight into the path he has paved for us, then how do we avoid the detours that may come up along the way? I believe that a daily quiet or meditation time gives us that time we need to check in with God and with ourselves. It is a time to nurture our spirit man which is so often neglected. It’s impossible to be aligned with the Holy Spirit in mind, body, and spirit if one of our main components is off-balanced. Taking a holistic approach to Christian meditation will allow you really receive all that God has for you and wants you to know.

Psalms 84: 2 – “My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.”

Have you found yourself in a dark place recently? Do you find yourself struggling to figure out how to pull yourself out from where you are? Do you find the light hard to reach at this point in your life? Do you feel like you are walking around in the dark with your hands out, trying to reach out for some kind of hope and protection? Does it feel like you are in the eye of the storm in your life and holding on for dear life with no shelter to run to? Are you in the middle of a desert in your life and dying to find an oasis?

Later in Psalms 91, we are also reminded that “whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” This passage goes on to say that “he is my refuge and my fortress”. How comforting is it to know that when we are in our darkest places, God is still in the midst right beside us? He is our sanctuary, our quench, and our shelter! Yes, He loves you that much! For today’s meditation, don’t beat yourself up for wherever you may be in life in this moment. Be comforted in knowing that, through God, you have an anchor in life that will never let you down or forsake you.

I took your meditation challenge this year. I wanted to let you know how much it changed my life. This year a set a resolution to get back into getting up early like I used to. (normally a very happy early riser). And so when you challenged us, I decided to rise at 5am and move to my yoga mat. I found it easy to resist the urge to hit snooze because I was just changing where I was laying from the bed to the mat. I only fell asleep 1 morning. And God started changing me. I really wanted to return my focus this year to God first. I added 10 minutes of praise to my new meditation practice. Time to focus on just how great God is. Now not only do I find it easy to get up at 5, but I’m excited to get up and can’t wait to get to my mat in the mornings to spend time with God. Thank you so much for all you do. You really are changing peoples lives, hearts and souls.Tiffani

Testimonial

"The Christian meditations have been wonderful. They help me slow down enough to fully let God in, and I am able to stay more centered and focused throughout my days. I have been sharing them with a prayer group at my children’s school, and after a long period of stagnation, we have had 7 new visitors by word of mouth because they are enjoying this type of prayer so much. Even the children in the classroom like the meditations during rest time and have requested them instead of their usual classical music. I can say the work you have done has blessed my life, and blessed those whom with I share it. Thank you for being one of the pioneers in bringing this type of prayer to others through your outreach."

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Christian Meditation?

If you look up the word “meditate” in the dictionary it means to “engage in thought or contemplation; reflect.” Meditation means the act of meditating; continued or extended thought; reflection; contemplation; or devout religious contemplation or spiritual introspection. Therefore the practice of Christian meditation would be to engage in thought, contemplation, and reflection about our relationship with Christ and/or the Word of God. There is nothing really mystical about it. We all meditate everyday when are minds are singled-focused on something for an extended period of time. There are different methods used to meditate on God but our goal is to create a more fruitful walk with the Lord.

What are the benefits of Christian meditation?

There are countless benefits to Christian meditation. I believe the 3 greatest benefits of Christian meditation is that it allows us to spend more quality time with God, teaches us to control our thought life, and helps us maintain our mental health and emotional well-being.
Spend More Quality Time with God- The Psalms 46:10 tells us to be still and know God. In order to know God we need to spend time with him. The more time we spend in God’s word and abide in his presence, the more we take on his character and likeness. In Luke 19, when Jesus went to Zaccheaus, the tax collector’s home, it is said that Zaccheaus told Jesus as a result of his visit, If I has wronged or cheated anyone I will repay them back with interest. When we dwell in God’s presence we are changed. When Mary and Martha had Jesus over as a dinner guest, Martha became upset because Mary wasn’t helping her with the preparations. Jesus told Martha that she had many cares, but that Mary had made the better choice, to dwell at his side, and it will not be taken away from her.
Control Thought Life- Ephesians Chapter 6 tell us to cast down every fiery dart that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bring every thought into the obedience of Christ. Meditation helps us to still our minds so that we can observe the subtle or unconscious thoughts that we’re thinking. If we are not controlling our thoughts, then our thoughts are controlling us. Many people live unconsciously or by mental default. They have never examined their internal dialogue and live by reaction instead of purposefully. Meditation can help you to observe the mental chatter in your mind so that you can eliminate and replace them with God’s word and rise above lower level consciousness.
Promotes Mental Health and Emotional Well-Being- Just like we rest and cleanse our outer and inner bodies, our minds also need to consistent rest. Without mental rest we become overwhelmed by the worries and the cares of our lives. We need to mentally detox from all the mental clutter, messages, and information we’re constantly bombarded with. It is during times of quietness, stillness and reflection that we’re in the best position hear and commune with God. During meditation we learn surrender every situation to God. In return, we receive that peace that passes all understanding. We release the stress and many toxic emotions that
interfere with our peace of mind.

Is it ungodly for Christians to meditate?

I believe that Christians who are opposed to Christ-centered meditation don’t really
understand the practice and its benefits. They also fail to acknowledge that meditating on Christ is encouraged in the Bible. Read the following scriptures:
>Psalms chapter 46:10 tells us to be still and know that I am God.
>Joshua chapter 1 verse 8, admonishes us to meditate on God’s word day and night.
>Psalms chapter 4: 4 persuades us,”When you are in your beds, search your hearts and be silent.
>David desired in Psalms 104: 34, that his meditations be pleasing to the Lord.
>Isaiah declared in Chapter 50:4, “He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught.
>Moses spent 40 days on the mountain abiding and learning from God (Exodus 34-35).
>Paul received revelation and saw visions from heaven (2 Corinthians 12).John wrote visions that are recorded in the book of Revelations.
>The Bible says even Jesus spent hours alone with God (Luke 5:16; Mark 1:35).
Our greatest inspirations and truths come during times of quietness, stillness, openness, and reflection- all components of meditation. Almost any activity can be abused and used for evil. Sometimes it’s not what we do but our motivation for doing it. In the same light, the practice of meditation can be used to honor God or dishonor Him. Some forms of meditation encourage participants to empty their minds in an effort to connect with the
supernatural world. That can be dangerous. However, Christian meditation encourages believers to be still before God so we can dwell in his presence, focus entirely on Him, and quiet our minds so we can fully embrace His Word.

Why do Christians need to control their thoughts?

Every individual lives by what I call an internal life or mental script that determines their actions and mindsets. Many of these mindsets, which originated from youth, were embedded in our subconscious minds and we’re often not aware they’re there. Even though we receive Christ as our Savior, our conditioning, scripts, patterns, and habits don’t leave or change automatically. Most of us live on mental default most of the time. Because of our busy and hectic lives, we don’t take the time to be still be enough so that we can observe our thoughts and challenge, eliminate or alter them in accordance with the Word of God. Consequently, we continue to struggle just like Paul stated in Romans 7, we know what to do, but we just can’t seem to do it. We may listen to an inspiring sermon and get excited for the moment, but before long it wears off and we’re often back to our old behaviors. By meditating, we learn to look objectively at our thoughts and learn to take authority over them instead of the other way around. How can you control your thoughts if you don’t even recognize what they are? For more information read my article,

What should I do after the meditation end?

At the conclusion of each meditation, turn off the CD player and spend some time in silence just abiding in God’s presence. For most people, you will want to linger with God indefinitely because it’s a simply wonderful feeling. On many occasions God may impress upon you a word, phrase, scripture, unction, or even a vision. At that time, I will either open the Bible and try to locate a chapter or passage that relates to that particular word or phrase and read it intently looking for any meaning currently relevant to my life or circumstances. You can write any words, messages, or inspirations in a journal. Following journaling spend some time in prayer.

My mind begins to wander off, what should I do?

During the meditation, refrain from trying to memorize everything you hear. Just relax and bring your mind and body to a state of stillness and oneness with God’s spirit by focusing on your breathing and keeping your mind free from distractions. Whenever your mind begins to wander, repeat the scripture, “peace be still,” “I surrender all,” “Jesus take control,” or “I have the mind of Christ.” Only pick one and stick with it throughout the meditation. Your spirit will absorb God’s Word being spoken, so you don’t have to focus too heavily on it. If you make the meditation a mental exercise, you are trying to control the outcome and may feel frustrated and stressed in the end. During and at the end of the meditation you should experience a sense of peace, well-being, and the serenity with God.

Why do you encourage deep breathing exercises?

Deep breathing exercises provide an excellent method to relieve stress and rid yourself of toxic emotions that inhabit your body. Emotions become toxic when they create prolonged depression, oppression, or worry in our lives. The most common toxic emotions include fear, pain, anxiety, and guilt. You can literally release these emotions from your body by identifying them and consciously eliminating them through deep breathing exercises. To target specific emotions, sit quietly and ask yourself, what am I feeling. As you reflect on the emotion, reflect on what thought or action led to your uneasiness or pain. For example, you may feel sad or anxious. Now reflect back on when it started and what may have caused it. Perhaps someone in the grocery store made a rude comment to you. Almost every negative emotion can be traced back to a specific incident. If you can identify the thought, you can work through it and the destructive emotions associated with it. During deep breathing, each time you exhale, mentally say…I release and then insert the emotion you want to release. For example, I release anxiety. Continue to repeat the exercise until all vestiges of the toxic emotion are gone and your peace of mind is restored.

How often should I listen to the meditations?

At least once per day. Instructions regarding a meditation schedule is on the Cd introduction and/or in the CD inside panel. Meditation works progressively, so the longer and more often you do it, the greater benefits you’ll receive. Consistent meditation promotes peace of mind and mental clarity. It will help you to recognize mental clutter and negative thoughts or emotions that are trying to invade your mind. Just like taking your daily vitamins, you can’t see them working but you feel the positive effects in better health. Meditation works the same. Over time you’ll feel more at peace and your intimacy with God will increase.
